<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure> Kolkata: The telecom regulator has issued a discussion paper on overhauling the present regulatory regime of fixing uniform international termination charges (ITC<\/a>) and moving to a variable pricing mechanism that would offer more leeway to local telcos to negotiate the best rates with the foreign carriers.

At present, global long-distance carriers pay ITC to local telcos that receive the incoming international calls.

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai<\/a>), in a paper issued Friday, has sought stakeholder views on whether a uniform ITC is still relevant or “if an alternate approach such as a forbearance regime” is required to give local telcos more flexibility to bilaterally negotiate these rates with global carriers and offer more compelling tariffs to consumers.

The sector regulator, in fact, has sought views on whether there is a case to migrate from “a regulated to a forbearance regime” for determining international termination charges, as in, leaving “the ITC rates (open) for negotiation” between India’s international long-distance operators (ILDOs) and foreign service providers.

“Most access service providers in India also have ILD operations…such negotiations to determine ITC rates (can transpire) between Indian and foreign service providers,” Trai said, adding that the scenario can give telcos the flexibility and space to ring in more “innovative tariff models that balance the interests” of both the local and foreign telecom operators.

A senior telco executive welcomed Trai's suggestion. \"Allowing forbearance with the flexibility to bilaterally negotiate ITC with foreign carriers would allow local operators to provide greater value to their customers, more aligned with present market dynamics,” he said.

Trai’s review call comes less than two years after it had slashed ITC by 43% to 30 paise a minute in January 2018 to rein in the grey market for overseas incoming calls, a regulation that the older incumbent carriers had then wanted scrapped on grounds that it would trigger almost Rs 2,000 crore of combined revenue losses annually. Pure 4G carrier Reliance Jio Infocomm though had then backed the Trai move.

The deadlines for comments and counter-comments for Trai’s latest discussion paper are December 9 and December 23 respectively.

At press time, ET's queries to the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), which represents Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and Reliance Jio Infocomm, went answered.

The sector regulator said an analysis of overseas long-distance voice traffic flows showed “the rate of decline of international incoming voice traffic through the carrier route has reduced after the ITC revision in January 2018”.

It added that “the average international settlement charges (ISC) -- the sum received by India’s ILDOs from foreign carriers – had reduced from 59 paise a minute in the quarter ended September 2017 to 42 paise a minute in the quarter ended March 2019”. This, it said, suggested that “while ITC had been reduced by 23 paise a minute in January 2018 to 30 paise a minute, the decrease in average ISC is only 17 paise a minute, implying that “ILDOs have not passed on the full benefits of ITC reduction to the foreign telecom carriers”.

Trai acknowledged there may be a view that the present ITC of 30 paise a minute puts local telcos “in a disadvantageous situation vis-a-vis foreign operators, given that “termination charges in many other countries is much higher”. But it also pointed out that there could be an alternate stakeholder view that “there is no extra cost involved in terminating international calls, and accordingly, the termination charges for international and local calls should be the same at 6 paise a minute”.

Another senior industry executive though dismissed the rationale of “equating international and domestic termination charges,” saying “this can never happen as ITC hinges on the prevailing foreign exchange rate, the volume of ILD traffic and bilateral negotiations between local telcos and foreign carriers”.

加尔各答:电信监管机构发表了一篇论文在改革目前的固定统一的国际监管制度终止费用(美国国际贸易委员会),搬到一个可变定价机制,将提供更大的余地去当地电信公司协商与外国航空公司最好的利率。

目前,全球长途航空公司向当地电信公司ITC接收传入的国际电话。

印度电信管理部门(火车),在周五发布的一篇论文中,寻求利益相关者的意见是否统一ITC仍然是相关或“如果另一种方法,比如忍耐政权”需要给当地电信公司更多的灵活性,双边谈判这些利率与全球运营商和消费者提供更多引人注目的关税。

事实上,行业监管机构寻求意见是否有一个案例从“监管宽容机制”来确定国际终止费用,如,留下“ITC利率(打开)议付”印度的国际长途运营商之间(ILDOs)和外国服务提供者。

“大多数访问服务供应商在印度也有ILD操作…协商确定ITC利率(印度和外国服务提供者之间可以发生),“火车说,并补充说该场景可以让电信公司的灵活性和空间戒指更“创新关税模型,平衡利益”的本地和国外电信运营商。

电信高管对火车的建议表示欢迎。“双边谈判的灵活性允许宽容ITC与外国航空公司将允许当地运营商为客户提供更大的价值,更符合目前的市场动态,”他说。

火车的评论电话后不到两年ITC下调43%到30 paise一分钟2018年1月遏制海外来电,灰色市场的规定,然后老现任航空公司希望取消为由,将引发近2000卢比的结合每年的收入损失。纯4 g载体依赖Jio Infocomm虽然有火车移动的支持。

评论的最后期限和counter-comments火车的最新讨论文件分别是12月9日和12月23日。

截至记者发稿时,印度手机运营商协会等的查询(COAI),代表Bharti Airtel,沃达丰的想法和依赖Jio Infocomm,去回答。

银行业监管机构表示海外长途语音流量的分析显示,“国际的,下降的速度传入的语音流量通过承运人路线后减少了美国国际贸易委员会修订2018年1月”。

它补充说,“平均国际结算费用(ISC)——收到印度的总和ILDOs从外国航空公司——降低了59 paise一分钟在截至2017年9月的季度到42 paise截至2019年3月当季一分钟”。它表示,这表明“虽然ITC已经减少了2018年1月23日paise一分钟到30 paise一分钟,平均ISC只有17岁的减少paise一分钟,这意味着“ILDOs没有传递的全部好处ITC减少外国电信运营商”。

火车承认可能有一种观点认为,目前的30 paise ITC一分钟把当地电信公司”在不利的情况下面对外国运营商,由于“终止费用在其他许多国家要高得多。”但它也指出,可能有另一种利益相关者认为“没有额外成本参与终止国际电话,和因此,终止收费国际和本地电话应该是一样的在6 paise一分钟”。

另一位资深业内高管虽然驳回的理由“等同国际和国内终止费用,“说”这可能永远不会发生因为ITC取决于现行汇率,ILD的体积流量和当地电信公司和外国航空公司之间的双边谈判”。
